What is Fat Transfer®?
Facial fat transfer also is known as fat grafting, is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that can be described as taking fat from a part of your body, such as abdomen, hips, stomach, or thighs, and injecting it into the face to restore the lost volume around the face, such as the eyes, cheeks, and jawline. There is a non-surgical alternative to fat transfer that involves using hyaluronic acid fillers Voluma, Juvederm, and Restylane instead of fat cells. Most of them are synthetic and don’t give permanent results that you would like to maintain (longer than 6 months).
Areas that can be treated with Facial Fat Transfer®:
- Nasolabial folds: between the nose and the lips
- Marionette lines: between the lips and chin
- Flattened cheeks
- Sagging jaw
- Fat transfer under the eyes
